Fundraising for Action for Children
Story
Thanks for visiting my fundraising page.
After one of the coldest Byte Night sleep outs in history last year I decided to sign up again this year. For one night I’ll go cold, wet and hungry to raise funds for this outstanding charity. For me it will be just one night, a glimpse if you like, of what it is like to become homeless, penniless and dependent upon others. For you it could be a few tens of £’s or $’s of your hard earned money, but for 75,000 young people in the UK alone aged under 25 its reality every single night.
Sleeping out in London bring home to me each year, what it must be like to have to sleep rough not though choice. In the morning I will wake go home have a shower and then go to bed, for homeless young people they start the day exhausted and have not where to go. On a personal level I left school at 16 and it was people around me pointing me in the right direction that made a difference in my live. Action for Children do this every day for thousands of young people.
Donating through Justgiving is quick, easy and totally secure. It’s also the most efficient way to sponsor me: Action for Children gets your money faster and, if you’re a UK taxpayer, Justgiving makes sure 25% in Gift Aid, plus a 3% supplement, are added to your donation.
